A number of crew on set picked up on the likeness and James quickly became known as Harry on set. Opening up about his viral moment James admitted that he couldn't believe that his Emmerdale debut had been shared more than 100,000.
It has been reported that he has now been approached by media companies eager to continue his new found fame. Speaking to Yorkshire Evening News James said: “According to Natalie, I was the double of Harry, except she thought me 'A bit shorter, but much better looking!”
"After that, I heard it from pretty much everyone on the cast and crew, for the rest of the day all I heard was “Do you know who you look like? Personally I hadn't seen much of a resemblance before, so naturally I was delighted with the comparison.
"It certainly helped calm my nerves a little, and after that we spent every second that we weren't filming in stitches of laughter with the cast and crew.”
James revealed that he was at a Halloween party when he started to go viral and was instantly flooded with texts and calls insisting that he looked like Harry Kane.
He now dreams of one day meeting the footballer as he added: “Of course, meeting the main man himself Mr Harry Kane, would be an absolute dream come true! If Harry just so happens to be reading this, I'll clear my diary! All in all, not bad for a lad from Pudsey.”
